Matti and Justin gave an impressive performance at the Shanghai Beijing Opera Troupe. One played the female role, Chen Miao-Chang, the other played the boatman who helped her escape during a chase. The scene is from the opera "Qiu-Jiang". A few minutes of dialogue then introduces the aria, and the performers have to adopt certain stylized gestures and expressions.
Matti played the female role，with Justin playing the boatman. The long sleeves represent paddles and their high voices caused some laughter, they were also very happy to play the scene. Chinese Opera aesthetic requirements are difficult enough for locals let alone foreigners.
Furthermore, the heroine of the play is reserved and introverted. After the teacher's explanations, the two performers set out to enhance the content to get clearance. Later, Matti said that playing a Chinese woman from an ancient dynasty, and try to figure out her psychology was very interesting, and something he had never experienced before.
Preview of Episode 10
The first stop of this episode is Xintiandi. Maybe due to the excellent weather, the Shikumen complex here has attracted many tourists even since early morning. The contestants look eager, and we even found a couple who had been eliminated already. Was there any chance for them to get back in the contest? In a shop in this fashionable leisurely place, they found the clue directing them to Tianzifang.
With an old-world style and an atmosphere of civilian art, Tianzifang is embedded in the ancient lanes of the city, where small shops sell special goods. Maybe the information directing contestants to the next stop is written on the wall. Their next task is to buy a handcrafted object in the antique market on Dongtai Road, and than resells it at a profit as soon as possible. Let’s have a look what strategies the contestants employed. Coming up next, the contestants will rush to Lupu Bridge. Facing strong winds off the Huangpu River, and the Expo construction site beneath, the contestants must reach the top of the bridge to obtain the next clue.
Then they go to Cite Bourgogne, where civilian residential customs are preserved. Contestants will play with Zhang Jun, the Kunqu Opera Prince, an old game of rolling a hoop. On the edge of extinction, this game seemed to baffle many of them, yet, only after the game could they return to Xintiandi, the terminating point. Contestants will end today’s contest cycling along Taipin Lake, but what they compete with is nothing but slow progress. The team with the lowest comprehensive score will end their journey on the Rush in this episode. July 5 from 8 - 9pm only on ICS.
